Improved estrogen reception may sharpen fuzzy memory
Estrogen treatments may sharpen mental performance in women with certain medical conditions, but University of Florida researchers suggest that recharging a naturally occurring estrogen receptor in the brain may also clear cognitive cobwebs. view more (2008-07-30)
New biomarker predicts effectiveness of breast cancer drugs
University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers have identified a new way to predict when anti-estrogen drug therapies are inappropriate for patients with hormone-dependent breast cancer. view more (2006-12-08)
Phasic firing of dopamine neurons is key to brain's prediction of rewards
Researchers are one step closer to understanding the neurobiology that allows people to successfully learn motivated behaviors by associating environmental cues with rewarding outcomes, according to a study published yesterday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' online Early Edition. view more (2009-04-06)
New 'Knock-Out' Gene Model Provides Molecular Clues to Breast Cancer
New insights into the role of estrogen receptor in mammary gland development may help scientists better understand the molecular origin of breast cancer, according to new research from the University of Cincinnati (UC). view more (2007-09-06)
Newly appreciated membrane estrogen receptor important therapeutic target for breast cancer
New research at Rhode Island Hospital has uncovered the biological effects of a novel membrane estrogen receptor, a finding that has potential implications for hormonal therapy for breast cancer. view more (2009-07-02)
AMD discovery: New hope for treatment of vision loss
Scientists have won a major battle in the fight against age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, a blinding eye disease that affects millions of people. An international team, led by researchers at Sainte-Justine Hospital and the Université de Montréal, has identified the deficient receptor that causes the dry form of AMD. view more (2008-02-21)
Dartmouth researchers show effects of low dose arsenic on development
A team of Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) researchers has determined that low doses of arsenic disrupt the activity of a hormone critical in development. view more (2007-11-15)
Red pandas reveal an unexpected (artificial) sweet tooth
Researchers from the Monell Center report that the red panda is the first non-primate mammal to display a liking for the artificial sweetener aspartame. This unexpected affinity for an artificial sweetener may reflect structural variation in the red panda's sweet taste receptor. view more (2009-04-16)
Overproducing leptin receptors in fat cells may be key to halting weight gain
A new study by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center suggests that when fat cells increase in size - as they do during the development of obesity - the cells progressively lose receptors for the hormone leptin, a powerful stimulus for fat burning. view more (2005-12-01)
Short-term hormone therapy and intermediate dose radiation increases survivial for early stage prostate cancer
Short-term hormone therapy given prior to and during intermediate dose radiation treatment for men with early stage prostate cancer increases their chance of living longer, compared to those who receive the same radiation alone. view more (2009-11-03)
Prostate cancer patients on hormone therapy at increased risk for various heart diseases
New research has found that hormone therapy used to treat men with advanced prostate cancer is associated with an increased chance of developing various heart problems. Some choices of therapy appear, however, to be less risky than others. view more (2009-09-22)
Researchers at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center uncover clue to explain invasive brain tumors
Researchers at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center have uncovered a clue to explain the invasive nature of an aggressive kind of brain tumor called glioblastoma multiforme, or gliomas. view more (2006-01-12)
Major step forward in effective treatment for HIV/AIDS
FROM PROCEEDINGS B OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY ONLINE ACCESS VIA FIRSTCITE FROM: 4 September 2002 New research findings by scientists in Germany* - soon to be published in The Royal Society`s Proceedings B journal - will be of major importance for HIV and AIDS treatment in the future. The findings provide estimates on the likely success of drugs which... view more... (2002-08-30)
Markers of PCOS inherited, persist and raise risk for heart disease, diabetes
Menstrual irregularity and unhealthy metabolic traits associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are inherited and persist with age, putting women with PCOS at a high risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. view more (2006-04-18)
Scientists Identify Bovine Gene Regulating Milk Production
MTT Agrifood Research Finland and the University of Lie'ge, Belgium, have worked together successfully in locating a gene that regulates total yield and protein and fat content of milk. The scientists found a variation in the growth hormone receptor gene in the bovine chromosome 20. The variation in the receptor gene is associated with a major... view more... (2003-02-20)
Is Bcl-2 protein a major obstacle in treating colorectal carcinoma?
Apoptosis resistance has been shown to contribute to the development of different cancer entities, such as colorectal carcinoma (CRC). view more (2008-09-24)
T vs. B: Re-engineered human T cells effectively target and kill cancerous B cells
Human white blood cells, engineered to recognize other malignant immune cells, could provide a novel therapy for patients with highly lethal B cell cancers such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), according to researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). view more (2007-09-18)
NIAID scientists identify new cellular receptor for HIV
A cellular protein that helps guide immune cells to the gut has been newly identified as a target of HIV when the virus begins its assault on the body's immune system, according to researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). view more (2008-02-11)
What emotional memories are made of
Both extensive psychological research and personal experiences confirm that events that happen during heightened states of emotion such as fear, anger and joy are far more memorable than less dramatic occurrences. view more (2007-10-05)
New approach for growing bone comes from Duke preclinical research
The natural cycle of building bone to maintain skeletal strength and then breaking it down for the body's calcium needs is delicately balanced, but diseases like osteoporosis break down too much bone without adequate bone replacement, leading to bone fractures. view more (2009-10-08)
